Add to Calendar

Auditorium A2
Maison de la paix, Geneva

Legitimacy is an important feature of contemporary state-building. International frameworks such as the New Deal emphasize the need to create legitimate politics as part of building stable states and peaceful societies. Open questions remain about how to achieve the goal of more legitimate domestic governance. Which constituencies matter for evaluating a state’s legitimacy? Are more democratic states necessarily more legitimate states? What is the relationship between inclusion and legitimacy?
